Dr. Jacqui has changed my life! For many years I have been taking cholesterol medications, but nothing seemed to help. My doctors kept adding other medications like blood pressure drugs and diabetes medications over the years, and my cholesterol did not improve. After many years my cardiologist insisted that I change to Lipitor. Within only a few weeks I had severe muscle and joint pain. I could not lift my arm above my shoulder, I could not turn to fasten my seat belt, I could no longer do the things I loved to do like read and knit. My fingers couldn't grip the needles and the books were too heavy for my arms to hold. I thought I was just getting older and this was how it was going to be. Eventually the pain became so bad that I could no longer take walks, I was becoming depressed and I was in constant pain at night. I couldn't lie on my shoulders and I would have to wake up and walk around during the night. I lost strength and couldn't lift things in the kitchen which made preparing meals very difficult and I started to become very weak. Dr. Jacqui helped me understand that there were things we could do to help with pain. She took a lot of time to find out about how things had progressed and how things were changing. She worked with my doctor to put me back on the old medication in order to try to decrease the pain. She asked me so many important questions that helped me identify when I was getting better and gave me detailed information about how to modify my diet. The supplements she recommended made a noticeable difference in just a few weeks, and slowly I have been regaining my health. Although I did not feel like I was on a diet, I lost weight, increased my energy and was able to knit and walk again. Over several months I have been able to sleep through the night and now lead a very active lifestyle and can lift both of my arms above my head, run after my grandchildren and don't feel "old" and "dying" anymore. Thank you Dr. Jacqui for taking the time to look at all the details of my blood work and for explaining things in a clear and simple manner for me to understand. My friends cannot believe how wonderful I look and feel! read more

For years, I have not felt well, with a variety of symptoms like digestive discomfort, stomach pains, headaches, fatigue, and even high blood pressure. Every visit to my family medical doctor resulted in a dismissal of my claims as stress factors and an attempt to give me another prescription to treat my symptoms. Miraculously, and finally, I discovered Dr. Jacqui Slavin's practice of Functional Wellness. After my very first meeting with her, and a thorough review of my history, she already had a handle on what was going on. With a review of several lab tests, some I had never even heard of, her hypotheses were correct... a chronic gastrointestinal infection and digestive dysfunction, including some nutrient deficiencies, that I've likely had for years. Dr. Slavin's functional approach is to treat the whole person and get to the root cause of illness, unlike the conventional medicine paradigm of just treating diseases and symptoms. She also is incredibly bright, with an expertise in several areas of health concern (see the website). Dr. Slavin reads a blood lab report like a storybook, analyzing functional ranges and subtle relationships between values, not just flagged 'out of range' numbers. I have already highly recommended my wife, family, and friends to go see Dr. Slavin for a consultation. Thank you Dr. Jacqui for all your help and kindness!! read more

Dr Jacqui Slavin is my families' go to source for our overall health and wellness. She is incredibly knowledgable, passionate and informative. After spending several years seeking help from the medical industry and finding no solutions, I found Dr. Slavin. It was a relief to have someone not just look at my symptoms, but at the entire functionality of my system. I have learned so much and continue to learn for her. She has helped me get back to feeling healthy, assisted me throughout my pregnancy and now is ensuring the health of our little one. I'm amazed at what Dr. Slavin does and would recommend her highly. If she is unable to help she will find someone who can. read more

Dr. Jacqui is amazing! I have learned so much from her knowledge and expertise. She really takes the time to thoroughly review all areas of your health. She has taught me so much about my nutrition. She helped me to balance my blood sugar which was incredibly low and because of the changes she suggested my cholesterol fell by more than 30 points. Not only does she have amazing knowledge when it comes to nutrition, but she also has functional knowledge of the body through chiropratic care. I have had on-going lower back issues since have children and after seeing her I have not had any recurring issues in many months! I reccommend Dr. Jacqui to everyone I know! read more
